Promotion for Sony Pictures
Get ready to cheer for the little guy. Or in this case, the little goat!
GOAT, the brand-new animated action-comedy from Sony Pictures Animation, is galloping into cinemas on 19th February, and it’s bringing big laughs, big heart, and a seriously good underdog story with it.
At the centre of it all is Will, a small goat with huge dreams. He’s obsessed with roarball – a fast, furious, full-contact sport played by the biggest, baddest animals around. Think high-energy chaos, co-ed teams, and zero room for anyone who doesn’t look like a natural-born champion. So when Will gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros, no one’s more surprised than his new teammates … and they’re not exactly thrilled about it.
But Will isn’t about to sit quietly on the sidelines. With determination, grit and a whole lot of heart, he sets out to prove that talent isn’t measured by size and that “smalls CAN ball”.
Cheer for the underdog
It’s a classic underdog tale with a fresh twist, packed with hilarious moments, high-stakes action and a message kids (and parents) will love: believe in yourself, back your team, and don’t let anyone tell you you’re too small to dream big.
From the animation legends behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, GOAT delivers bold visuals, laugh-out-loud energy and plenty of feel-good moments that make it perfect for a family cinema trip.
So round up the kids, grab the popcorn and get ready to cheer for the most unlikely sports hero of the year.
